How do i transfer my contacts from my iphone 3gs to the new iphone 4s?

How do I transfer my contacts etc from my iphone 3gs to iphone 4s ?

You do it via iTunes on your Mac or PC (by syncing the contacts to the equivalent desktop app), or via iCloud (but you'd need to upgrade the 3GS to iOS5 and open an iCloud account).
With iTunes, sync the 3GS, then connect the 4s and sync it
There are utilities like PhoneView (Mac) and others that will allow you to extract the data from your 3GS, but iTunes or iCloud are the preferred methods.
I should add that, if you're not using iTunes to sync your phone, you're at risk of losing data.

How do i transfer my content from my android phone to my new iphone 5

How do i transfer my content from my android phone to my new iphone 5 thanks

sync the old android phone content to google like contacts. Then sync the new iPhone 5 to google using the carddav protocol. Google has some great tutorials for seting up the accounts.

Additional way is if its already on the google.com cloud service. Search iPhone App Store for "MobileTrans contacts".
Or go on iCloud.com then sign up and click on the cogwheel for options. I believe it has import contacts.

How do I transfer my contacts from my mac pro OS 10.6.8 (no icloud) to my new iphone 4s?

Actually it's usually the other way around; if you attempt to sync your contacts on your computer and your Address Book is empty it will sync the empty contacts from your Mac to your phone, resulting in the contacts on your phone being deleted. As long as you have at least one contacts on your Mac, when you initially sync you should get a Merge or Delete prompt for contacts. Choose merge and the contacts on your phone and on your Mac will be merged and the merged contact list will be then be on both.
Another approach you can take if you're concerned about this is to enter the two contacts you have on your phone in Address Book on your computer, then without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone and go to the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings, check Sync Contacts, then further down under Advanced...Replace Information on this iPhone, check Contacts. Then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone. This will replace the contacts on your phone with those in Address Book on your computer. (You can also open Address Book and go to File>Export>Contacts Archive before doing anything and save this on your desktop as a backup in case something goes wrong.)

How can I transfer my data from galaxy note 2 to my new iphone 5?

Urgent!!! Can anyone tell me how to transfer my data (contacts, sms, photo & music) from my galaxy notes 2 to iphone 5? Is there any software recommended? Thanks a lot..

I'm sure the Galaxy includes a way to sync contacts with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windows, the iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the Address Book app used by Outlook Express or Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. The Address Book app with a Mac. This is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
Or if you are accessing a Gmail account with the Galaxy and syncing your Google contacts over the air, the iPhone supports doing the same with a Gmail account.
SMS/MMS cannot be transferred.
You should be able to import the photos captured by the Galaxy with your computer. After doing so, any photos on your computer are transferred to the iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process. This is selected under the Photos tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
The iPhone includes an iPod, and music is transferred to an iPhone the same way it is transferred to an iPod with iTunes. The music needs to be in your iTunes library. This is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.

How do I move my music from an older macbook to the new iPhone 4s?

My macbook is old (OS X 10.4.11), so I can't update iTunes to a newer version. All the tutorials on syncing deal with newer OSs. I have TONS of music on my macBook, and I want to be able to use it on my new phone, but nothing happens when I plug it in to my laptop.
I know most people don't keep technology as long as I do, but my laptop works great. I don't need a new one, and I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars trying to update to a new OS.
Any savvy techs out there who know of a loop hole of how to get the music files to the iPhone?
Thanks!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your devices sync with a photos folder you will need to copy this over and update the settings on the photo tab to point to the new location.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How do I transfer my contacts from my old Powerbook G4 to my new Macbook Pro?

how do I transfer my contacts from my old Powerbook G4 to my new one Macbook Pro?
new Macbook Pro is operating on OSX 10.8.2
When I save it as an export then try to open it on the new computer it wants me to delete all my current contacts before it will import.
What happened to MERGING?

On the PowerBook G4, open Address Book and choose File > Back up Address Book...
Save it to your Desktop or directly to the MBP if it is already connected. Otherwise copy the Address Book backup file to the MacBook Pro. Email is also an option.
On the MacBook Pro, open (double-click) the Address Book Backup (abbu) file:
Contacts will launch and display the following:
Click Replace All which will do what it says.

One way is to sync the contacts from the old iPhone to iCloud. Then when you turn on the new phone and set it up for iCloud and turn on the Contacts in Settings >iCloud, they will come to the new phone. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

Move the iPhoto library from the Pictures item of the Finder's sidebar on the MacBook Pro to the same location on the iMac via FireWire Target Disk mode, or a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended, or through AFP file sharing over a network.

Contacts should be in your supported computer contacts application.
Did you sync with your computer befor? Check your computer's Address book/Contacts/Outlook or some other contacts application.
* Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
